The college administration had planned to close the school after the 1967 spring semester but kept it open due to pressure from parents and faculty. The school was eventually closed after the Spring 1979 semester. It now operates independently of Webster University in a separate location.

Scope/Content: Includes miscellaneous materials related to the program when it was operated by Webster College. Contains overviews and self-study reports, correspondence, and issues of a newsletter published by the College School.

Conditions of Access and Use: The collection is open for research use by appointment only.
